Comments

This is a very sinuous segment which was not mapped well by VHD. There appears to be some unnatural high flow of water moving through this channel at times causing significant erosion and scour on outside meander bends. This segment is a little steeper slope than Segment A and the banks are less cohesive soils. There are significant areas of undercut banks with no water in the channel at this time.
